About John P. Martinez
I graduated from the UNM Classical Guitar Program in 1986 & I also graduated from GIT ( Guitar Institute of Technology ) in Hollywood in 1987 and I have been gigging and teaching ever since. Your guitar lessons could include single string technique, note reading, tablature, guitar licks or guitar solos, songs, finger style playing including Classical Guitar or just about what ever you want. Don't worry, it won't hurt and you will become a good to great guitarist. Besides being a competitively priced performer your music booking will include your planning session to establish the music for your wedding ceremony ($450.00) and oftentimes includes a cocktail set, dinner, rehearsal dinner or wedding reception at an hourly rate. Cocktails sets are $200 & every additional set is $150 as a ceremony is included. Your planning session is usually an in-person meeting at my home or, if long distance, we can address the music over my speaker phone , Skype or Zoom. I also play Private Parties, Corporate Functions, Fundraisers, etc. I do have standard pricing but I very seldom lose a gig over money. Please let me know your budget and I am sure we can always work things out. I first picked up a guitar when I was 9 years old and it has been a life long love affair ever since. Performing music for special events is an honor and a privilege and getting paid is nice, too. I am always excited to perform a guitar and/or vocal show for you and I look forward to providing a top quality and professional experience. From "Bach to Rock" John P. Martinez will always provide a high quality performance to include, Core Classical Guitar, Jazz, Blues, Classic Rock, Flamenco Style, Contemporary Country, Romantic Spanish Ballads and MORE!

We went to work right away. Very busy for an hour . Liked It.
Great musician
John has a way of putting you at ease, while teaching. He is patient, knowledgeable, and professional, while making your lesson fun. He teaches at your level, but challenges you with different assignments and projects. I highly recommend John as a guitar teacher for any level player.
I like that John has given me one song to concentrate on learning to play. His structured approach is better for me than the approach of my previous instructor. I also like that John actually makes me play during lessons!
John loves what he does and is very passionate.
When I first came to John Martinez for Guitar lessons I knew nothing about the guitar and even less about music. John is very knowledgeable and a very skillful teacher. I look forward to our weekly lessons. John challenges me to be better with each lesson. William White
A patient, calm and excellent teacher.
John is extremely professional, thorough, and how he put it, methodical. He improved my play noticeably in just st my first class. He helped me with a number of things I didn’t know I was doing wrong and my online lessons did not even mention. I was very apprehensive playing in front of such a great and experienced player, but he made me feel very comfortable, listening and helping me catch my mistakes and learn how to improve. I very much look forward to working with him and the impact he can have on my playing.
My 16 year old son began lessons with John three weeks ago as an absolute beginner and I could not be more happy. John is a talented guitarist, a very patient and insightful instructor, and has gone above and beyond to help my son enjoy learning how to play the guitar. I suspect we will be going to him for lessons for a very long time.
